Pastor Claims Gay People Are Possessed By “Fart Demons” That Can Drive Pigs To Suicide [View all]

X-posted in GD

Bert Farias , founder of Holy Fire Ministries, claims to know the “raw, naked truth” about why people are gay: They are possessed by “fart demons.” Yes, fart demons.



Oh, but it gets better.

Farias also claims that in choosing to be gay, a person chooses to engage in “unclean demonic practices.” Once that happens, they become possessed by “putrid-smelling” demons so stinky they can drive pigs to suicide.

In an interview with Charisma magazine, Farias begged gay people to “not get upset with me” as he explained his groundbreaking new theory.

“You will see that I am actually trying to help you,” he assured them.

“Homosexuality is actually a demon spirit. It is such a putrid smelling demon that other demons don’t even like to hang around it.”



He then went on to recount a story from the Bible to illustrate his fascinating point:
“There is an account in the Bible where Jesus casts out 2,000 demons out of a man. The demons came out screaming and begged Jesus to send them into the pigs. The pigs didn’t want them, so they ran down a steep hill and were drowned in the sea.”

“Pigs have more sense than some humans,” he added. “People embrace homosexual demons, but the pigs would rather die than be possessed with demons.”
